Biography

My interest in and passion for music lead me to study jazz at college and then gain a degree in music performance. I have played the saxophone for over 20 years and now play regularly across the North West and beyond at various functions, mostly weddings, both as a solo saxophonist or in my jazz quartet. I teach guitar and saxophone in schools during the week and also teach privately during the evening and weekends.
